Oops! I gave the punchline away - that's OK, because in the podcast I give you two different ways to approach including this superpower into your teaching or parenting repertoire.

It's really important that as parents and educators that the actions we take in the world match up with our stated goals. By modelling the behaviours and habits that successful people have, we invite our kids to take up those tools as well.

In this episode, I open with an insect metaphor that just won't die. But there's a lot of value here for you if you're on the fence about starting a journal. I give you the 5 key questions I used to unlock my life, explain the practical side of keeping a journal, and show you how it can massively benefit your children's lives, too.
